History

The JHJ Alumni Association was reorganized in September of 1990. The very first officers
were elected in 1991 and Anthony Gobert served as the first president from 1991-1994.
The goal of the chapter is to award scholarships to studnets who need help in purchasing
books or paying fees. Over the years, the organization has awarded more than 56 scholarships
totaling over $30,000.

Since its reoganization, the chapter strives to involve alumni in the many programs
and services. The chapter is a chartered organization of the National Alumni Association.
